1、Best Practices Entry: Best Practice Info:a71 Committee Approval Date: 2000-03-03a71 Center Point of Contact: JPLa71 Submitted by: Wil HarkinsSubject: Critical Design Review for Unmanned Missions Practice: Practice: Conduct a formal Critical Design Review (CDR) of hardware, software, and firmware at
2、the subsystem and system levels. Schedule the review prior to the start of subsystem fabrication and assembly to assure that the design solutions satisfy the performance requirements established in the development specifications. Establish this review as a standard reliability engineering practice f
3、or flight hardware.Abstract: Preferred Practice for Design from NASA Technical Memorandum 4322A, NASA Reliability Preferred Practices for Design and Test.Benefits:The Critical Design Review (CDR) provides increased assurance that the proposed design, and the planned manufacturing and test methods an
4、d procedures, will result in an acceptable product, with minimal project risk.Implementation Method:ResponsibilitiesThe responsible project or task manager defines the need to conduct a formal review and initiates action by contacting the convening authority (generally, the next higher management le
5、vel). The convening authority, in consultation with the responsible manager, appoints the review board and a chair and defines the board charter and schedule.The CDR ensures that all design considerations have been adequately incorporated and that all engineering analyses have been completed. Result
6、s of engineering model tests are presented to demonstrate that the hardware and software can be built to perform as planned. In addition, plans are presented for fabrication and testing, including qualification and acceptance.The review board, under direction of the chair, conducts the review and pr
7、epares a written report to the responsible manager on the findings and recommendations. The responsible manager then prepares a written response to the convening authority addressing the disposition of the review board findings and recommendations. The convening authority reviews and approves these
8、dispositions.CDR AgendaThe following items and issues are addressed at the CDR, where applicable:1. Functional description and block diagram.2. Functional requirements and compliance of the design, presented in matrix format with traceability references.Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction o

Results of detailed peer reviews, conclusions, and implementation plans.Technical Rationale:The CDR provides for the as
16、sessment of the design and fabrication plans by a group of knowledgeable persons not directly involved in the activity being reviewed. A formal review can focus many years of experience on the subject at hand.The CDR aids the responsible manager in evaluating the quality of the work and in making im
17、portant decisions, including those concerning completion of critical milestones and resolution of identified issues. The review process should aid in the identification of problems and the evaluation of design Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from
